It was after eight pm on a Thursday and though we were guaranteed a rainless afternoon, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Mark and I were relaxing talking over the golf results, ready for the sixth telephone call of the day to come in. Finally we got a call from a lovely women on a business excursion who had gone to the Sainsburys petrol garage in Alderwasley and put petrol in a diesel Land Rover rental car by mistake. The poor lady was quite troubled it seemed, stating "I simply cannot believe that I have destroyed the car! I'm so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle that I totally didn't remember that I was operating a diesel!" I just asked her to relax and not to fret, and that things like this regrettably often happen. She managed to relocate the vehicle into a safe position and, seeing that it was only a few miles off from the office, we could reach the woman right away. The wrong fuel was drained so she could get back to the Travelodge she was lodging in. Even though we got very drenched, it was all worth it seeing her drive off contented and a lot less stressed. Another job in Derbyshire well done in my mind!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Derbyshire we are identifying increasingly more occurrences of AdBlue contamination where a person has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent due to people not knowing the right way to use it (please note: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and partially because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly close to one another on the car.

So, precisely what is the problem with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank? Since the product is predominantly ionised water, it's just like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition, the urea is particularly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

Call us in the event that you are suffering with AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can easily take care of all kinds of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a significant situation to deal with in a car - specifically in present-day common-rail engines. Water in your fuel can potentially produce idling difficulties, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not sorted out fully, oftentimes damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to clean out when compared with water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can solve both situations fairly quickly.

Bear in mind however that so long as the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the old one will likely be completely wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the wrong fuel, or even dirty fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near enough to a car or truck parking bay we will be able to gain access to the storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

We've been called out to quite a few private and industrial premises in Derbyshire to take care of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely.
